Re: Lies and Statistics
Actually, that's not statistical doubletalk so much as it is just a really crappy way of stating results.
The truth is, zip code has nothing to do with population, so it is possible to select, for example, 10% of US zip codes and the total population for those zip codes would total less than 10% of the US population. As you do select more zip codes, you will get more population, obviously. |
